    I must really get a few tips from LTF about taking a decent photograph! I only noticed the WB was set to sunshine after the 1st take.

    Looks fantastic!!

    Is that a new bezel or do they refurb it (looks new)

    Stunning. I'd love one of these at some point and RSC always do an amazing job. It really is like getting a new watch back.

    Very nice indeed :)

    Bracelet even sounded almost reasonable., compared to a new Sub or DSSD version.
    It's just a matter of time...

    To be honest, it would be hard for that watch to look anything less than magnificent whatever settings you had your camera on.

    My 16519 says hello to your 16520

    Looks great btw, any chance you could post (or PM) the cost?
    Mine will need done soon and RSC is the only choice.

    Sure.


    Service - £416.67
    New glass - £100.54
    New bezel - £204.32
    New pushers - £134.59 (didnt have these)
    New (later SEL) bracelet - £916.67

    All plus VAT.

    I actually thought the full service was very reasonable, I was expecting close to double that!

    The old bezel was pretty knackered. I'd have loved to keep it all original, but I'm pleased I didn't as it now looks like a brand new watch. I'm actually scared to wear it!

    Bracelet was eyewateringly expensive, even at their cracking price, but I figured that once the original one is refurbed, I could potentially sell the new one separately and get all the money back, if I ever decide to sell the watch.

    It's currently in the "keeper" part of my collection.

    Thanks for that, quite interesting.
    Do you know if a new crown is included in the service?
    I actually thought a crystal, crown and pushers used to be included?

    I don't think anything's included now. Crown was not suggested actually but o think they're about the same price or less than the glass.

    Maybe this is why the service cost seems reasonable these days.

    You're a very lucky man having a Zenith Daytona. I'm very envious!
